Created by REL Northwest based on national EWS use

Education Northwest’s Early Warning System (EWS) modules were built based on the experience and recommendations of EWS users throughout the United States. They provide school and district teams with actionable tools to support student success and improve graduation rates.

Our four EWS modules cover how to:

Establish and train a team to use the EWS

Identify accurate indicators

Develop usable indicator reports

Map interventions in response to student needs

Evaluate student progress

Need assistance? Education Northwest’s EWS experts are available to support you in working with the modules. Contact Sarah Frazelle at 503.275.9639.

Chartered in 1966 as Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, Education Northwest now conducts nearly 200 projects annually, working with schools, districts, and communities across the country on comprehensive, research-based solutions to the challenges they face. Our wide-ranging projects are making an impact in areas such as school improvement, community building, literacy, equity, and research. Although our services and publications have national reach, we primarily work in the five Northwest states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
